Nursing Home story...

Every Sunday we take grandpa out to breakfast... (my husbands Dad).  Grandma died a few years ago and he has been in the nursing home for about 11/2 years.  I know he hated it there at first, but now he has accepted it pretty much.  I went in to get him today and one of the aides said someone is here to get you...he hadn't seen me yet, and I heard him say " is it Sheila"?  When I came around the corner he got a big ole smile on his face and he said "its my daughter Sheila", touched my heart.  I'm so thankful that we can be there for him and that he can still get out with us.  When I brought him back after breakfast he said I love you honey....Hang in there Grandpa, we love you too.

Pro Rodeo at the Holt Arena

Last night was a really fun night and made me realize that my family really cares about my hobby and how important it is to me.   I made it to the final 10 at the silver pro tour rodeo at the Holt arena.  It was the Western Frontier rodeo and it was exciting to be a part of it.   I remember a few years ago going thinking how cool it would be to be a part of that rodeo...and wow I did it.   I almost lost it on the first barrel...we were hauling...but hung on and finished without tipping.  How exciting and to hear all my family cheering me on.  What an honor to be there and to have my families support...one thing added to that bucket list.  Thanks to the best family in the world!
